Why do some people leave their apartment doors open? (apartments, home)

[Terra_lioness]

I am from another state and have never seen people leave their doors open before until now.

Please tell us more about the state in which you're from

Most likely for air circulation or to reduce heat.

Probably not as likely in a cold environment where you would want to keep heat in and the cold out.

In L.A a lot of the building stock is old too and doesn't have Central A/C .

Having the door open especially in the summer time can help to cool down the living space.

You can think of the door like a big window

You mean like wide open? They're probably home and live in nice area and don't have A/C.

People in my building do this a lot. It is to increase circulation as the building is one of those 0-shaped courtyard buildings with all of the doors facing the center. With a window and the front door open the apartments get a nice breeze, I notice this on the top floors more than the bottom floors, probably because it is breezier up there (and less foot traffic).

Lack of AC and/or windows or windows in right direction to catch breezes. They should get the landlord to install a screen door as its not a good idea to leave ones front door open for safety reasons.

I want my neighbors to see me walking around naked. Don't people do that in other States?

To let the old flies out and the new flies in.
